Hi,

I'm trying to set up MC on a Ubuntu server.  I've upgraded my version of the OS to the latest of everything.  I followed the directions in the Ubuntu/Mint post above and it installed cleanly. 

I set up a network share to the music folder on my NAS and am trying to import the mp3s from there.  It imported quite a number of the albums (I would guess around 100 of the 250 albums) and then crashed.  This line was reported in the syslog:


--- Code: ---vmubuntu kernel: [  206.083913] mediacenter21[3759]: segfault at 38 ip 00007fac8800e414 sp 00007fac76be2a20 error 4 in libpthread-2.19.so[7fac88004000+19000]
--- End code ---

Now, a few seconds after launching MC it crashes again with the same line being added to the log.

The pop up crash dialog also includes this info:


--- Code: ---mediacenter21 crashes with SIGSEGV in __GI___pthread_mutex_lock()
--- End code ---

Is there any way to save the text from the crash dialog?

Thanks,
John

There's a crash issue in 20.0.61 for some people, downgrade to 21.0.54 if you know how to.

I haven't done that before. Are there instructions somewhere?

[Edit:] 

Just tried "sudo apt-get install mediacenter21=21.0.54" and returned "Version '21.0.54' for 'mediacenter21' was not found"

Awesome Donkey:
For those encountering the crash issue with 21.0.61 on Debian, Ubuntu and Mint you'll have to downgrade MC by downloading the .deb of 21.0.54;

32-bit MC: http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v21/latest/MediaCenter-21.0.54.deb
64-bit MC: http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v21/latest/MediaCenter-21.0.54-amd64.deb

Then use dpkg to install, here's an example;


--- Code: ---sudo dpkg -i <path to the MC .deb file>
--- End code ---

If it's in the default downloads folder, then this should work...

64-bit:

--- Code: ---sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/MediaCenter-21.0.54-amd64.deb
--- End code ---

32-bit:

--- Code: ---sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/MediaCenter-21.0.54.deb
--- End code ---

That worked.  Thanks!
